These LGBTQ+ couples are thriving and redefining 'relationship goals'

We won't be erased — we will love, and be loved in return!

During such dark and disturbing times, it's more important than ever to show the world all the beauty, intelligence, talent, sense of humor, wit, resilience, and pride that exists in the LGBTQ+ community. Try as some might, erasing us is impossible.

No matter how many setbacks, law changes, and shenanigans are thrown our way, this community of people will continue to exist. We will come together, persevere, support one another, and find love — whatever that means to each of us. We'll do things our own way, too, redefining the concept of "relationship goals," and thriving through any turbulence.
